LOCAL TALENT SETS THE STAGE ON FIRE AT THE YOUTH HIP HOP FESTIVAL

Following an announcement made by organisers of the Durban Hip-Hop festival to host an all South African artists line-up for this year’s festival, party goers and music lovers headed for the Moses Mabhida people’s park for one of the biggest concerts in SA this past Saturday.

This decision saw a lot of unrecognised local talent, mostly from Durban sharing the stage with all the biggest names in the South African hip-hop music industry.

Durban upcoming female artist, Zamalwandle Nzuza also known as Ash said this is a great opportunity for her and she sees it as a great platform to share her art with music lovers and her followers.

Another upcoming artist known as Thonyalabantu went on and thanked the organisers for recognising them for such a huge event.“The crowd was amazing, the energy that they gave me was something else. I would like to thank all the organisers that made this possible,” Thonyalabantu said.

The line-up which was packed with all the hottest rappers, MC’s and DJ’s in the game had the crowd sweating from busting the latest dance moves and singing along to the lyrics of their favourite tracks.
